A Clubhouse Built On History

Built from Okanagan Lake's original ferry

In 1962, thirteen enthusiastic boaters gathered to form the Westbank Yacht Club. On New Years Day in 1965 the M.V. Pendozi sank at the C.N. wharf in Kelowna. The idea came to Past Commodore Alan McLeod that this troublesome vessel would make an ideal clubhouse. Once the vessel was raised, Mayor Parkinson took the offer to council and on February 8, 1965 the city donated the M.V Pendozi to the Westbank Yacht Club.
